Stylish and Userstyles.org have a new owner. Users of Stylish who have set their styles to auto-update may have noticed that they become corrupt in the process since October 6, 2016.

This is caused by an infrastructure move after ownership of the project was transferred to another party. Ownership of the Stylish web browser extension and userstyles.org website have been transferred from Jason Barnabe to Justin Hindman in the past two weeks. Details on the deal and the new owner are scare. A forum post on the official Userstyles.org forum introduces the new owner briefly. I have chosen Justin Hindman as the next leader of Stylish and userstyles.org. Justin replied to that post briefly, but has not posted on the site since.

Distributed Proofreaders (commonly abbreviated as DP or PGDP) is a web-based project that supports the development of e-texts for Project Gutenberg by allowing many people to work together in proofreading drafts of e-texts for errors.

By July 2015, over 30,000 texts had been digitized.[2] History[edit] Distributed Proofreaders was founded by Charles Franks in 2000 as an independent site to assist Project Gutenberg.[3] Distributed Proofreaders became an official Project Gutenberg site in 2002. On 8 November 2002, Distributed Proofreaders was slashdotted,[4][5] and more than 4,000 new members joined in one day, causing an influx of new proofreaders and software developers, which helped to greatly increase the quantity and quality of e-text production. Proofreading process[edit] Public domain works, typically books with expired copyright, are scanned by volunteers or sourced from digitization projects and the images are run through optical character recognition (OCR) software.

You might have seen or read about the RSS functionality in the user interface of IE7 Beta 2 Preview. There is a bit more to it then just letting users subscribe and read feeds from the IE7 user interface. The RSS functionality in IE7 is “powered” by the Windows RSS Platform. The Windows RSS Platform API encapsulates 3 main components: Common Feed List, Feed Synchronization Engine, and Feed Store. The RSS functionality in IE7 is built on top of these components.
AI’s open source model is closed, inadequate, and outdated. Artificial Intelligence is big.

And getting bigger. Enterprises that have experience with machine learning are looking to graduate to Artificial Intelligence based technologies. Enterprises that have yet to build a machine learning expertise are scrambling to understand and devise a machine learning and AI strategy.
Oracle Buys Apiary, a Specialist in Application Programming Interfaces. Oracle says it is buying Apiary, a company that specializes in managing and monitoring application programming interfaces, or APIs, which offer standard ways to connect software applications.

Both software giants and large Fortune 500 companies are scrambling to add expertise in building, monitoring, and documenting these crucial pieces of technology. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but in a statement, Oracle (orcl, +1.68%) said Apiary, based in Prague and San Francisco, has: helped companies create hundreds of thousands of APIs and products that their customers and partners love to use. APIFlow spans the API creation lifecycle, including design, governance, testing, and documentation, while supporting API Blueprint and OpenAPI industry standards. Together, Oracle and Apiary will help companies thrive in the digital economy by comprehensively managing connectivity complexity and API proliferation.

Datasets. The DBpedia data set uses a large multi-domain ontology which has been derived from Wikipedia as well as localized versions of DBpedia in more than 100 languages. 1 Background Wikipedia has grown into one of the central knowledge sources of mankind and is maintained by thousands of contributors.

Wikipedia articles consist mostly of free text, but also contain different types of structured information, such as infobox templates, categorisation information, images, geo-coordinates, and links to external Web pages. For instance, the figure below shows the source code and the visualisation of an infobox template containing structured information about the town of Innsbruck. The DBpedia project extracts various kinds of structured information from Wikipedia editions in more than 100 languages and combines this information into a huge, cross-domain knowledge base. 3 Denoting or Naming "things"

Iris is an AI to help science R&D. Most startups have a pitch.

The team behind Iris AI has two: right now they’ve created an AI-powered science assistant that functions like a search tool, helping researchers track down relevant journal papers without having to know the right keywords for their search. But in future their big vision is their artificially intelligent baby grows up to become a scientist in her own right — capable of forming and even testing hypotheses, based on everything it’s going to learn in its science research assistant ‘first job’ role. Such is the multi-stage, big picture promise of artificial intelligence. Yet convincing customers to buy into AI’s potential now, at what is still a pretty nascent stage in the tech’s development, remains a challenge. Evidence of superior efficacy is required.

Caving — also traditionally known as spelunking in the United States and Canada and potholing in the United Kingdom and Ireland — is the recreational pastime of exploring wild (generally non-commercial) cave systems.

In contrast, speleology is the scientific study of caves and the cave environment.[1]
